Palmerola and SCAB.
Spent a few days in Juticalpa, Cucuyagua, Tegu, San Pedro Sula, Comayagua, Santa Rosa de Copan, La Ceiba, Mocoron, Ocotopeque, and a few other places that shall remain nameless.
Surprised to hear that you are getting out, I thought that most of the permanent party were only let out a couple of times for R&R.
Could you explain this "extra grains" thing?
Do you know what they are, and why a certain number are there already?

How's the fried fish at the lake just north of there (on the drive to La Ceiba)?
If you haven't stopped in for a meal yet, I highly recommend it.

Ate there every time we drove the road from SCAB to San Pedro Sula.

Gentlemen,
I'm an AF Space Operator, meaning I do the satellite thing. I always enjoy seeing a soldier's POV on things as it helps me to better cater our mission to your needs. I'm here to absord and learn; may post if it falls near my area of expertise. Thanks for letting me be a guest in your domain.
Mike

Gents,
I thought I would stop-in and say hello. Longrange1947 advised me to check this site out. I plan on doing a lot of reading and very little posting.

Hello everyone! MtnGoat sent me your way and after a day or two of trolling around and reading a few posts I signed up to be part of the action.
I did my team time in 10th Group and thought this would be a great site to keep up with old friends, make some new ones and keep in touch with the "community".
I am currently one of those fat, lazy, overpaid GS types that is doesn't look too fat, works my rear to the bone daily and haven't yet found the GS pot of gold I had always heard about.
I am working in Italy right now with SETAF but hope to be back at Bragg this summer.
Thanks for having me aboard!

My Intro
I have come and gone to SFAS and will go back again. I am an E5 in the United Kingdom and Want more than anything to be with the Warriors that make up our current military, even if it means my life. I fully understand the obligation I will make in this decision and am already comitted to it. I have been in for 6 years, and would like to make this my career. Look out because I will be there, and hopefully one day I will help complete a mission or even save a Warriors life. Thank you for all that you guys do.
